Getting rid of all standards that blacks do not meet as often as other races will wreck society. Stop giving Federal loans to law students, and let people who pass the bar exam be attorneys, even if they did not go to law school. Lincoln did not attend law school.

Abolish the ABA and go back to allowing those who serve an apprenticeship to sit for the bar exam. That would save taxpayers a lot of money on failed lawyers.

I don’t think Asians are having a problem.

What a joke. Lowering standards is required for Diversity, Inclusion and Equity (DIE). And America will DIE because of it.

Hey, at least lawyers aren’t flying your plane, or performing surgery on you. They’re trashing standards for doctors and pilots, too.

Remember the lawyer in Idiocracy? “I like money...”

My aunt served several judges as as a court reporter for over 50 years from the 1930s. At least two of them never went to law school, but “read for the law” like Lincoln and passed the bar exam.

I found it amusing that she would sometimes whisper to the judges after they made a bad call, correcting them on the law. After decades in the courtroom, she often knew the law better than they did.

- ... to move us ahead in legal education on diversity and a host of other considerations -

So now they'll just look at skin color.

Next,the AMA will vote to end medical schools’ MCAT requirement. At that time med students of certain ethnicities and skin tones will believe that the hip bone’s connected to the neck bone.

All the announcers on the Artemis launch were women. Every single bubble-headed, giggly, unserious one of them. It was disgusting. It really makes you wonder how much they benefitted from some AA program for women to get through engineering school.

Guess if a person can self identity their gender then they can self identity as a lawyer......

If I need a doctor, a lawyer, a protector I care not about his color. The man that cut into my eyes to put lenses in due to cataracts was Chinese American. I used him because my optometrist a white guy said he did his and is the best. My former dentist was black. My GI man was Indonesian. Most of my other care was by whites. I care not about color. I care a great deal about one’s abilities.

Just give POCs any degree they desire without having to take any classes or tests as long as they sign up for the student loans and hand them over to the “universities.”

Couldn't agree more.

That’s because of standards that lead to competence. I don’t care about race, national origin or faith. I do care about competence.

This allows the schools to in effect use a quota system.

No conservative practicing attorney I know belongs to the woke ABA.

If not for a surprisingly good score on the LSAT, I would not have been admitted to a top-10 elite law school. I’m glad no one figured out that I was Choctaw until my third year.

CA actually still has an apprentice path to becoming a lawyer. Less than a couple dozen people do it every year, basically bc the mentor lawyer has to want to spend enough time on this to be effective. Most lawyers don’t want to do it.

When you eliminate objective standards, it all comes down to politics and/or bootlicking.

The SAT was originally put in place to help poor kids with ability get into top universities.
